COMPLAINTS
AND INQUIRIES ABOUT THE MOVER'S SERVICE
All
movers are expected to respond promptly to complaints
or inquiries from their customers. Should you have
a complaint or question about your move, you should
first attempt to obtain a satisfactory response from
the mover's local agent, the sales representative
who handled the arrangements for your move, or the
driver assigned to your shipment.
If
for any reason you are unable to obtain a satisfactory
response from one of these persons, you should then
contact the mover's principal office. When you make
such a call, be sure to have available your copies
of all the documents relating to the move. Particularly
important is the number assigned to your shipment
by the mover.
Interstate
movers are also required to offer neutral arbitration
as a means of resolving consumer disputes involving
loss or damage on collect on delivery (COD) shipments.
Your mover is required to provide you with information
regarding its arbitration program.
All
interstate moving companies are required to maintain
a complaint and inquiry procedure to assist their
customers. At the time you make the arrangements for
your move, you should ask the mover's representative
for a description of the mover's procedure, the telephone
number to be used to contact the carrier and whether
the mover will pay for such telephone calls.
